Check in desk *actual* opening time - Manchester for VS075

Flying from Manchester to Orlando on VS075 at 11:30.

What time do the check in desks *actually* open?

I know they suggest getting there 2-3 hours before flight time, however we really want to get bulkhead/infant bassinet seats, which virgin won't allocate to us before the day and have advised us to check in as soon as check in opens to give us the best chance.

Therefore wondering what time they actually open, so we can get there for then!

Thanks.

I have been at Manchester earlier than the advised 3 hours check in window (from memory it was just after 8am left home early due to possible rush hour delays and road works on my journey) and was able able to check in as the Virgin desks have been open due to the earlier Atlanta flight which goes at 10.30. They just asked me where I was going and pointed me to the desk. Hope this helps.

That's really helpful, thanks
